Ok…time to update my blog. I must admit it a long time since I write an entry. For the past two months, I have been busy with work and preparing for my company’s dinner and dance. Besides working, we have to go for training 3 to 4 times a week. Even though it tough, it is actually quite enjoyable. We also won the competition for the dinner and dance. But it is not the winning part that is the happiest, rather it the friendship that grown and blossomed during this period. However, Gakkai activities have also decrease during the past two months due to all these commitment and work. I must really improve on my time management and go out more for Gakkai activities and also home visits. However, peak is coming up for me which mean work, work and work. Many seniors have actually quite audit. This make it even scarier as it mean the assistants will have to do more work and more difficult tasks. Think audit is really a step stone for most of us. I must really increase my chanting to change the situation so that I can go out for activities.

 
Recently, I have an outing with the small ywds in my district. I really hope that they will grow up to become strong and courageous ywds who will not be defeated not matter what happen. It a struggle that I think everyone must do to polish themselves which includes me. I must grow to be stronger and happier even amidst difficult situations. Of course, this is easier said than done but we must still try J Everyone jia you!!

My super nice seniors



My manager and my colleagues...

Finally have a chance to write down my feelings that have accumulated for the past few weeks. After the trainings at EY, i was posted to a company for audit. It indeed very exciting when i first reached the client office but i soon realised the reality that i will be working late everyday. The first week i have been going home at 1am, followed by 2am and 3am...and even 4am. I also needed go back for work on sat and sun. Suddenly, my whole life is consumed by work and nothing else. It was really a tough period as i still have to manage my national day parade trainings. But my colleagues have been very nice. They taught me a lot of stuff and encourage me when they see that my eyes are shutting down soon. They also allowed me to go for my NDP  trainings and of course the actual NDP (ps they also need to work on ndp) . Thinking back at all the trainings, i will really miss my fellow comrades and all the trainings.  H6...rockZ!!

"The hardship that u come across now will contribute to ur growth. Problems are part and parcel of the growing process. Therefore the important thing is to keep pressing forward, no matter how tough or painful the going may get'  ~Daisaku Ikeda

This encouragement have motivated me during exam period and now it still pull me through during work. Even though  NDP have ended, life is still not easy. Having an average of 3.5 hr to 5 hr of sleep a day is really not enough for me.  I have a hard time dragging myself out of bed everyday.  I must admitted that i have breakdown before in fronts of my friends. Thanks gals for encouraging me. I will not be defeated. I will make the best out of this situation. I belived that things happen for a reason. Perhaps this is the time for me to grow out of my comfort zone to experience life. I beleived that i will definitely learnt a lot through this job, so i will jia you de!! Sometime i do wonder what is the purpose of working very day? What  values are being created? For a teacher, it to educate the young one to become useful pillars..what about audit? I am still searching for the purpose and hopefully i can  realised it. 

This month mark the start of my career. Have just came back from a five days training course in Penang. Penang?? Yup...think probably for us to enjoy the 1st week before realy starting work? Overall, even though the training was tiring, it was quite fun and fattening. We have 8 hours of lesson everday. Our brain almost "burst" with information! We have roles play and games to enable us to have a better understanding of what was taught and it was fun. I act as a grandma and it was quite funny...haha. We have 5 meals a day which made me gain 1.5kg in these 5 days! The colleagues were nice too. We often have dinner and go shopping together after the training. Penang is a good place for shopping! The shoes are so cheap...and the food too! I also manage to visit the soka gakkai malaysia. Their kaikan is quite big...bigger than spore even though it not the headquarter. The books are cheap too. Brought a few books back...i must really squeeze out some time to read these books. Life will be more busy with work, ndp trainings, family day preparation, meeting up with friends and gakka meetings. I must expand my life to encompass so many things. I knew that some of my friends are experiencing problems or feeling stress now. Please really jia you. We will always stand by you!



Shopping queens!!



My group members!!

Yesterday dinner at newton is great. Even though there were only a few people, everyone have enjoyed themselves. And thanks for all the wonderful comments about my chicken rice. It boosted my confidence in cooking greatly. Haha...will continue to explore cooking more type of food for all of you to try. 
For these past few weeks, I have been busy meeting up with friends and trying to understand what they are going through in life.  I realised that most of them are facing some sort of problems, Its varies from relationships to jobs etc. Jia you orh..my friends! I believed u all can break through and really grow through this struggle. One of my favourite quote:
"First you must be strong. There is no hope of winning in this chaotic world if you are weak, No matter what others do or say, it is important to develop your ability and put that ability to use. Stong faith,, of course, is the best mean for drawing out one's inner strength. You each have a very important mission, and i hope you will awaken to it and take pride in that mission."~Daisaku Ikeda



Thanks for the belated bdae celebration!!



Our Bdae Cake!

This is my first entry! haha..so excited. Decided to start a blog after going to hui hsien house to have "girls" talk together with Kumiko. So sad that she will be going back to Japan...and realised that blogging is a good way for friends to understand how i am getting on in life even thought we may be in different countries. It also a good way to express my feelings...sometimes it just hard to tell people how u feel..writing it down may be a good way for me to express them...
